Chapter 146 Catching the Thief
After Ye Yu finished reading dozens of books in the bookstore, he finally had a good understanding of the world.
However, Ye Yu had finished reading all the books, so he immediately walked outside and prepared to leave.
"Saint, you are a natural saint. Let me follow you and serve you. I can even do some odd jobs like serving wine and sweeping the floor!"
Seeing Ye Yu walk out of the door, the middle-aged scholar was startled and rushed out immediately, shouting and kneeling in front of Ye Yu, begging bitterly.
With the talent displayed by Ye Yu, the middle-aged scholar could foresee that if he took the imperial examination, he would surely rise to prominence, and if he studied academically, he would surely become a master and sage.
Such a person is rare in a thousand years. Now that a middle-aged scholar has seen him, how could he be willing to give up?
Even if it means doing odd jobs, following this person who is destined to go down in history is infinitely better than being stuck here in frustration.
"I have no intention of taking the imperial examination, nor do I intend to focus on academic studies, so you don't have to follow me."
As soon as Ye Yu saw the middle-aged scholar's behavior, he quickly understood what he was thinking.
It is understandable that he has this idea, but Ye Yu will not follow the path of imperial examinations and learning that ordinary people take.
Hearing Ye Yu's words, the middle-aged scholar was slightly stunned.
This? With such talent, why doesn't he plan to take the imperial examination or study hard?
Isn't that a huge waste?
Just as the middle-aged scholar was stunned, Ye Yu's figure had already merged into the crowd on the street and disappeared.
"Mr. Fan, why are you kneeling here?"
"Is this hysteria?"
"That's not right. He seemed to be kneeling down to a young man just now?"
Ye Yu's figure had disappeared, but Fan Shusheng was still kneeling on the spot, which immediately attracted people nearby to come over and ask questions.
After Fan Shusheng explained the situation, everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
But everyone knew that Mr. Fan was a trustworthy person. Even so, everyone could not help but ask questions in shock about the details, and some even found the post where the young man practiced calligraphy.
With so much evidence, everyone can't help but marvel, how can there be such a god in the world?
At this time, Ye Yu, who had bought enough food and meat at the market, returned to the alley when it was already dark.
In ancient times, light sources at night were relatively precious. Only wealthy families would hang lanterns on both sides of the door for lighting. Ordinary people naturally could not do so. They were even reluctant to light lights inside the house.
Most people eat and bathe before sunset, and then go back to their rooms to sleep early after nightfall.
So when Ye Yu came back, everything around him was quiet and he didn't meet any neighbors.
Back in the yard, Ye Yu lit the oil lamp and cooked. He had been in the bookstore for half the day today. He just bought some things in a hurry before the sun went down and ate some pancakes on the way, but he couldn't help but refine this.
Internal exercises are very effective in speeding up the stomach's digestion of food and absorbing energy to strengthen oneself.
Therefore, Ye Yu has no plan to stop the food supply for the time being. Although his body has improved a lot now, it can still be stronger.
There was a bright bonfire on one side of the yard, illuminating the surroundings. Soon, the rice was cooked and the meat smelled fragrant. After it cooled down a little, Ye Yu began to put the food into his mouth in big mouthfuls and started chewing.
Soon, Ye Yu had finished the whole pot of rice and pork.
Since his health has improved a lot in recent days, Ye Yu used internal cultivation techniques to speed up the digestion of food, and his stomach's tolerance also increased a lot.
So originally this pot of rice and meat was enough to swell Ye Yu's stomach to the point where he could hardly walk, but due to the effect of the internal training method, after eating, Ye Yu's abdomen was still flat. However, the energy refined from these foods quickly circulated throughout the body, nourishing every inch of flesh and bones, and strands of almost imperceptible warm current spread throughout the body, making Ye Yu feel as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring.
If someone could lift up Ye Yu's clothes and observe carefully, they would see that Ye Yu's muscles seemed to be trembling slightly, and gradually there were more and more strands.
This is the miraculous effect of the internal cultivation method refining food, which can enable Ye Yu to quickly get rid of the weak state of his body.
"My body is better now, so I can eat more and get stronger faster, but I also consume more energy. A few taels of silver will soon be gone, so I have to continue to make money later..."
After Ye Yu finished his internal training, he couldn't help but think to himself.
While thinking, Ye Yu lay directly on the recliner in the yard and began to practice the Great Sun Golden Light Mantra.
Although it is difficult to tap into the mysterious energy of the sun when practicing at night, you can focus on gathering spiritual energy for practice. Over time, the true energy you cultivate will be considerable.
"sieve……"
Suddenly, Ye Yu, who was lying on the chair, suddenly focused his eyes. There was someone in the house in the courtyard!!!
The night was as deep as water, and in the dilapidated courtyard there was still the sound of a faint crackling of burning flames.
But Ye Yu had already become alert. After successfully practicing the Great Sun Golden Light Mantra, his five senses naturally became much more sensitive than those of ordinary people.
Just now he clearly heard a slight rustling sound coming from the house in the yard, similar to the sound of clothes rubbing against each other.
"Are they thieves? That shouldn't be the case. Look at this dilapidated place. There is nothing to steal..."
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Ye Yu's mind.
The attack on those hooligans today was swift, accurate and ruthless. Moreover, Ye Yu heard that he carefully checked the surroundings and there should be no witnesses.
In addition to this, when he went out today, his neighbors noticed that he was different from his previous self.
Maybe it was because his physical and mental energy showed a big difference, so people doubted that the money was not lost? So this attracted the thief to visit?
While thinking, Ye Yu had already stood up from the recliner, but Ye Yu had no intention of rushing in to capture the thief.
The main reason was that Ye Yu had only been recuperating in this world for a few days, and he had only accumulated a trace of true Qi, which could not last long once it was circulated.
I don't know how many thieves are here. If they are armed, it would be troublesome to fight them alone. It would be better to go out and shout a few times.
It can not only alert the people around to come and catch the thief, but also allow you to hide by the door and wait for the right moment. If the thief panics and rushes out of the door, you can launch a sneak attack directly.
This way you don’t have to waste so much effort!
However, just as Ye Yu was about to walk out the door, there was a clang, and the door of the room in the courtyard opened instantly. Then a cold light flashed in front of Ye Yu, blocking his way.
Then, a Taoist nun wearing an apricot-yellow Taoist robe, with an elegant demeanor and a beautiful face, walked out of the house, holding a whisk in her hand.
"It seems you have discovered us!"
The Taoist nun, who was about thirty years old and had a charming demeanor, looked at Ye Yu and said.
Faced with this situation, Ye Yu was also a little surprised. He originally thought that it was some thief who was coveting his money, but now it seems that it was actually a martial artist.
